I imagine this multiple break-up is designed to maximize revenue and void the union contracts since this is an outright sale of brands and not a takeover of existing operations. Does anyone know for sure?

Any takeover of existing Hostess facilities and employment of former Hostess workers would appear to be optional under the arrangement outlined.

I’m wondering if they are being forced to take the union employees. A little while back, the union head was on an interview and threatened to have the big unions boycott the brands if they didn’t get their jobs.
